Planning your arrival

Arrival is prior to when the Getty Center opens to the public. For this reason, you must bring your confirmed registration with you and have it open on your mobile device or printed. This registration is also your entry to the Getty Center and will be checked upon arrival as you go through security before taking the tram or walking up the hill.

We recommend planning approximately 30 minutes to park, go through security, and make your way up to the event.

Event check in

Check in on site begins at 8:00 am. Details to follow for confirmed registrations.

Accessibility

Wheelchairs are available for free rental on a first-come, first-served basis at the Lower Tram Station above the parking structure and at the Coat Check Room in the Museum Entrance Hall. Our event spaces are all accessible with designated seating for wheelchair users and their party.
